The doors wouldn’t open for another hour Thursday morning, but the sartorial zealots – numbering in the hundreds – packed up their folding chairs and scanned leaked photos on Instagram, anticipating the booty to be claimed inside the Supreme clothing store.
The line snaked down North Fairfax Avenue, around a corner and down an alley. The lucky ones near the front – some of whom had camped outside the store for four days – would enter a promised land of limited release skater apparel and coolness with a price tag. Those farther back would very likely feel supremely disappointed about missing out on so much “dope stuff.
